= Chicken Heist (Boardgame) = Chicken Heist is a Press-Your-Luck and Player-Elimination card game inspired by the game of chicken. Chicken Heist is designed by Fourtato Games and will look to launch their Kickstarter campaign unofficially on March 25th 2019. In this card game, you and your friends participating are in competition to be the richest chicken by pulling off this heist. The longer you stay in the heist the more money you will get, however, this also means that it will be more dangerous for you as well.

Players will need to manage their risks and decide if they want to continue or run away from the operation. The optimal outcome for you is if other players gets caught or if they decide to run away from heist. With unpredictable events coming up that may get players eliminated, it is up to them to decide to continue to rob, prepare for the getaway truck, or to run away.

Gameplay

The objective of Chicken Heist is to be the richest chicken by the end of the game. Players will be assigned a random chicken (character card), all of which have their own unique abilities. Chicken Heist setup consists of Event Cards, Action Cards, Decision Cards, and Loot Cards. The Event Cards represent the events that will be happening in the heist. Action cards, which can be played as specific times, will help the player navigate through different events and interact with other players. Decision Cards, which are played during the decision phase, will dictate whether players decide to stay in the heist, hide, or run away (chicken out). Loot Cards represent the money in the vault.

In the beginning of the heist, one player will take 7 standard Event Cards and 3 variable Event Cards. This player will reveal these cards and will then shuffle the cards together and lay them in sequence faced-down. These events, for the most part, are detrimental to specific players and so players must do things to avoid these face down events. Players will be dealt 5 Actions Cards and they will get to keep 3 of them. Players are also dealt 3 Decision Cards.

The leader (randomly assigned in the beginning of the game) for the round will get to go first. On a players turn they may:


 * 1) Activate chicken (Character Card) ability
 * 2) Play Action Cards
 * 3) Perform 1 of 4 Moves:
 * 4) * Lookout - Look at one of any face-down Event Card
 * 5) * Tinker - Swap positions of 2 face-down Event Cards
 * 6) * Rob - Take 1 Loot Card
 * 7) * Resupply - Take 1 Action Card

After every player has had their turn, it becomes the decision phase. The players will pick 1 of their 3 Decision Cards, which will determine the outcome of the round. Decision Cards consists


 * Stay - player stays in the bank; this means the next Event Card will affect them
 * Hide - player avoids the next event; this card may only be played once in the game
 * Runaway - player runs from the bank; they take what Loot Cards they have in their backpack and are out of the game. The next Event Card does not affect them.

After the decision phase, the next Event Card is flipped over and the event occurs. On conclusion of the round, the leader card is passed to the person left of the current leader and one additional Loot Card is placed into the truck.

The game is over if any of the following occur:


 * When the getaway truck leaves the bank (when 2 "Driver's Signal" is revealed; players MUST play the "Runaway" Decision Card to leave with the getaway truck)
 * When all chickens are no longer in the bank (all chickens are caught or chose to run)
 * when there is only 1 chicken remaining (this player takes all the Loot Cards in the truck and runs away)

Once the game is over, players will count the total value of Loot Cards they have. The winner is the person with the most value.
